The Flex Program
Every student is unique. That’s why we’ve created Flex—a learning experience that adapts to your family’s schedule and your child’s learning style. Whether you need more structure or greater independence, Flex provides the right balance of autonomy and support to help students thrive.
What is the Flex program?
Families in the Flex program set their own structures and schedules for learning. Flex students have enhanced learning models, access to anytime learning, and support from certified teachers.
Core Benefits for Students and Families
There are lots of reasons to choose Flex to fit your family’s needs. Here are some of the main benefits students enjoy:
Learn on Your Schedule
Adjust learning times to fit your family’s routine. Whether your child is an early riser or learns best in the afternoon, Flex allows you to create a schedule that works for your family’s lifestyle.
Stay on Track With Support
Scheduled check-ins will give your child the guidance and resources they need to succeed. Teachers are readily available to answer questions, provide encouragement, and offer personalized assistance.
More Flexibility, Same High-Quality Education
Students in Flex receive the same rigorous curriculum as traditional K12-powered schools but with greater adaptability. Families no longer have to choose between structure and freedom—Flex offers both.
A Solution for Busy Families
Whether balancing extracurricular activities, medical needs, travel, or other commitments, Flex ensures learning fits seamlessly into your daily life.
How Our Flex Program Works
Flex students and their Learning Coaches determine their own daily learning plan. Flex students are offered optional live virtual classes, with flexible scheduling throughout the school day and week. They are also assigned teachers for support and resources. To remain in the Flex program, students must maintain passing grades in all courses.
Enrollment Process and Eligibility
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Flex program differ from the standard program?
Both Flex and standard programs are open to students in all grades. The main difference is in the amount of teacher-directed learning. In the standard program, teachers provide group instruction through online synchronous classes, which students are expected to attend. While both programs require daily attendance, the standard program is best for students who need live instruction from their teachers and those who value time with their peers.
Is the curriculum the same for the Flex and standard programs?
Yes, students complete the same curriculum in both programs. Like all students, Flex students access the OLS for their courses and sample schedules that they can adapt when structuring their month of learning.
How often do Flex students receive support?
The amount of support students receive depends on their needs. Dedicated Flex teachers are available via email and phone on school days and have regularly scheduled and posted office hours each week. These are set times when teachers are in a virtual classroom session, ready to answer questions from students and Learning Coaches. Students with IEPs receive all the services called for in their plans, including specifically designed instruction time with special education teachers.
